About the HP Neoview Performance Analysis Tools
The HP Neoview Performance Analysis Tools provide insight into queries running on the
Neoview data warehousing platform. The HP Neoview Performance Analysis Tools include
these components:

• Neoview Query Workbench
• Neoview Performance Analyzer
Through its graphical representation of system and query metrics, the Neoview Performance
Analyzer enables DBAs to troubleshoot query-related issues by using reactive and retrospective
analysis. The Neoview Query Viewer provides query-management capabilities, including the
ability to kill queries. The Neoview Query Workbench allows you to review and rework queries
on a test basis for performance purposes.
You can install each tool individually or all three tools together (recommended).
